To introduce a new generation of readers to its legacy, this updated and expanded edition includes a selection of top artists from the original series and 30 new contemporary entries. This single volume features 60 artists and their diverse array of artworks, ranging from paintings and photographs to sculptures, videos, prints, and installations. Each page showcases prominent works by the artists, accompanied by an engaging and informative conversation that provides relatable and memorable contexts for young readers, fostering a curiosity and appreciation for the visual arts that will extend into adulthood.
